Course Objectives: | The main objective of the course is to introduce the student to the phases of an audio production. The attendant will be exercising on levels such as: Digitalization of acoustic sound elements, editing audio via digital audio workstations, mixing multi-track sound, using spectral shapers & dynamic compressors. The principles of audio production will be evaluated through applications and design projects. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) Analyze the phases of audio production 2) Recognize the concepts of multi-channel audio mixing 3) Recognize the concepts of spectral balance of audio tracks 4) Recognize the concepts of dynamic balance of audio tracks 5) Apply audio mixing principles via high-end digital audio workstation software 6) Recognize the concept of automation in audio mixing phase 7) Perform audio mastering to maintain spectral balance 8) Perform audio editing to enhance audio interference 9) Evaluate various audio production approaches 10) Create audio tracking / mixing / mastering projects in order to complete production |
